The Royal Blue Acropora is one of the more difficult to keep small polyp stoney corals. They require very bright light, extremely low nutrient levels, and strong circulation to thrive. If any of these factors are not met, they turn a brown color. Don’t try to raise these guys under PC or T5 bulbs, it just won’t work. This one stays about 5 inches below a 250W 10K Metal Halide bulb. Like all Acros, it needs pristine water quality to look and grow good. That means weekly water changes and some form of physical or chemical phosphate remover.
